Comparison of Doppler echocardiography and right heart catheterization to assess pulmonary hypertension in systemic sclerosis.
Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Echocardiography can be used to detect PHT and, with Doppler echocardiography, the pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) can often be estimated. We have undertaken a study to compare echocardiographic assessment with right heart catheterization (RHC) in 33 SSc patients in whom clinical assessment [inclu...
متن کاملExperience with exercise right heart catheterization in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension: a retrospective study
BACKGROUND Data on exercise pulmonary hemodynamics in healthy people and patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are rare. We analyzed exercise right heart catheterization (RHC) data in a symptomatic collective referred with suspected PH to characterize the differential response by diagnostic groups, to correlate resting with exercise hemodynamics, and to evaluate safety. METHODS This is a ...

متن کاملThe prevalence of right to left shunt in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with increased pulmonary hypertension
Background: One of the important etiologies for cryptogenic stroke is paradoxical embolization secondary to Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). Foramen ovale can secondarily reopen due to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) which is common among the older age. PAH is known as a frequent and life threatening complication of COPD. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of PFO between COP...
متن کاملAccuracy and precision of echocardiography versus right heart catheterization for the assessment of pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND Echocardiographic studies have contributed to progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the pulmonary circulation and have been shown to be useful for screening for and prognostication of pulmonary hypertension, but are considered unreliable for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. We explored this apparent paradox with rigorous Bland and Altman analysis of the accu...
